Location: Mumbai — Work from Office / Hybrid (our Mumbai office is your base; client meetings across the city and beyond) Role Type: Individual Contributor — a hands-on hunting and closing role, not a team-management role Experience: 3–8 years selling advertising, media, or ad-tech solutions to brands and agencies Compensation: ₹8–18 LPA fixed (calibrated to experience, network, and closure track record) + uncapped performance-linked commissions and bonuses tied directly to closed business. Exceptional candidates with proven agency/brand relationships can expect the top of the band — or beyond.

Read this before applying

This is a pure sales role based out of our Mumbai office. You will prospect, pitch, negotiate, and close — every week. If you are looking for a fully remote position, account management, marketing, campaign operations, or a team-lead role, this is not for you. If you have never sold advertising or marketing technology to a brand or agency decision-maker, please do not apply.

What is Social Gear?

Social Gear is a unified advertising platform that lets brands and agencies run their advertising from one interface instead of juggling disconnected tools — spanning Creator Marketing, Display, Email, Connected TV, Programmatic, and Digital Campaign Management. The backend is propelled by Amazon, Google, and other open exchanges, with targeting down to ZIP-code level — local, hyperlocal, national, and global — including territory-based and multicultural targeting.

Our sharpest edge today is Creator Marketing: we help brands discover relevant creators, verify authenticity, and execute campaigns that perform.

And we own something almost no competitor can claim: LYKSTAGE,



our own premium video streaming platform with Connected TV inventory across Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Samsung TV, LG TV, and Android/Google TV. When you sell Social Gear, you are selling owned premium inventory — transparency and placements resellers simply cannot match.

Social Gear serves advertisers across India, the US, UK, Canada, UAE, and Singapore.

What you will own

- Hunt and close new brands, advertisers, and agencies — with Mumbai’s agency and brand ecosystem as your primary hunting ground
- Run product demos in person and virtually; leverage face-to-face meetings to build trust and close faster
- Map client marketing objectives to the right Social Gear solutions
- Build pipeline through outbound prospecting, your network, referrals, and partnerships
- Prepare proposals, negotiate commercials, close deals
- Grow closed accounts into long-term revenue relationships
- Hit monthly, quarterly, and annual revenue targets — consistently

The filters — strict, on purpose You should apply only if all of the following are true:

→ You are based in Mumbai (or relocating at your own initiative) and can work from our office in a hybrid arrangement.

→ 3–8 years of B2B sales in Advertising, Media, AdTech, MarTech, or Digital Marketing.



General SaaS or IT services sales without advertising exposure does not qualify.

→ You have personally sold to Marketing Heads, Brand Managers, CMOs, Media Buyers, or Agency Owners — and can name deals you closed with them.

→ You have a verifiable track record of hitting or beating targets. We will ask for specifics.

→ You can generate your own pipeline. No inbound leads will be handed to you in month one.

A solid added advantage: existing relationships within Mumbai’s agency and brand ecosystem; experience selling Influencer/Creator Marketing, Programmatic, or CTV solutions; familiarity with platforms such as The Trade Desk, PubMatic, DV360, or Amazon DSP from the buy side.

How success is measured

- Performance bonuses linked directly to closed business
- A genuinely differentiated pitch: owned premium CTV inventory via LYKSTAGE
